Congratulations to our President and Vice President

April 17, 2016

We congratulate CEA President Tracey D. Johnson and Vice President Phil Hayes on their reelection. Both have dedicated many years to the Association and have led us with precision.

Johnson (earning 81% of CEA votes), who taught for 15 years at Fair Elementary and Linmoor, Johnson Park and Yorktown Middle Schools, has been involved with CEA for 16 years, starting with her service as a PAR consultant. She has served on the Columbus Education Association’s bargaining committee and on the CEA Board of Governors as a Middle School Governor-at-Large. She has represented CEA at the NEA Assembly and received CEA’s Distinguished Service Award.

Hayes (who ran unopposed) entered Association service 15 years ago as a Faculty Representative from Brookhaven High School, where he taught social studies for 14 years. He served as a committee chair, a member of the bargaining team, and a delegate to the NEA and OEA assemblies, and as CEA’s electronic outreach coordinator. He was Columbus’ Teacher of the Year for 2001-2002.
